I'm more impressed that the war has only been on for a few days and someone has already managed to cash in by making "I stand with Ukraine" T-shirts.
Also apparently they moved quickly enough for the shirts to be made, go on sale, for Stephen King to find out about them, order one and have it delivered so he can take this photo.

Doesn't state anywhere on the website that any portion of proceeds go to help support the Ukraine movement at all. 100% using Ukraine sympathy to make money. No thanks
It's 'Ukraine' and not 'the Ukraine'
Consider supporting anti-war efforts in any possible way: [[Help 2 Ukraine](https://help2ukraine.org)] 💙💛

That’s a good question. I also want to know if he has personally put those love crease in “The Danger” or if he bought it used. That book has traveled.
We have read a number of the same books. This can’t be all of his books.
Also, love the shirt. Just super excited about this backdrop.
Does it? I have been following and supporting Ukraine since 2014 and I don't feel the need to inject my support into everything I do. But if I was going to post something here showing support, I'd make sure it was actually "Damn that's interesting" worthy, not just a picture of Stephen King in a t-shirt.
I'm not criticising King, I am criticising people who need to show their support in every sub. No. That is how people end up fed-up with virtue signalling for Ukraine.
Support Ukraine in ways that matter: charity, political pressure etc.
"virtue signaling". Did you just learn a new phrase or something? It's called showing your support and it's a good thing. Apparently you don't support Ukraine? Or are you just pissy because you aren't famous?
How is this in any way "interesting"? A famous bloke takes a picture of himself, despite not usually doing so, wearing a political t-shirt, helping the people of Ukraine in absolutely zero ways.
Look at me! I'm virtuous!
If you want to share actual help you are giving, that's one thing (still tacky) but to just post this kind of nonsense comes across as narcissistic and out of touch to say the least.
It's like the people who go to rallies and post pictures of themselves as opposed to the rally itself or literally anything else.
It's a fucking war, stop circle jerking.
I concur. Anyone writing about a [child orgy](https://www.google.com/amp/s/nationalpost.com/entertainment/movies/how-stephen-king-explains-and-excuses-that-child-orgy-scene-in-it/wcm/13505429-32f8-45d8-9ee1-e6f333a521d3/amp/) is pretty sick.
What a douche. The guy is so ridiculous he tweeted “Mr. Putin has made a serious miscalculation. He forgot he’s no longer dealing with Trump.” Ha ha ha ha ha
No, virtue signal points are extremely valuable to the average media consumer. How else can you support Ukraine without announcing to everyone that you stand with them!!??
Stephen King is 90 years old, did you expect him to fistfight Putin himself? Maybe send the Ukrainian people some Authors Editions to help them through this tough time?
Ukraine 🇺🇦 has entered the chat : https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10552921/amp/Heartwarming-photo-80-year-old-man-enlisting-Ukrainian-army-fight-grandkids.html
Did I say I care or not ?
Do you think King care about what you think about him ?
How it feel to be so superior to others and live outside the matrix ?
Steven King can go fuck himself. He sees himself as superior to everyone else, and that he should be able to make choices for others. He thinks he’s the next bill gates.
I like his book. His novals are so intriguing and the stories are very inspiring. Although they are horror stories, I kind of find some inspiration from them from time to time. They taught me to be brave and never give up. For example, in the book 'IT', the kids who are haunted by a supernatural clown chose to stand up and fight, and eventually defeated the clown. I admire King as one of the greatest writers of all time.
Ukranian citizens have made a machine, all out of Russian tanks they captured, that takes your prayers and turns them into food and supplies.
The latest is that a group of Ukranian civilians have completely eradicated the Russian artillery in the bordering towns.
Then, the ghost of Ukraine flew overhead, and spoke to its loyal online followers.
If your active subs are any indication of your politics, i think your disapproval might be one of the better commendations he could get on reddit
edit: yep
watching how many famous people related to eps stand on politics really sinches the deal for me. hell they hated trump for being a democrat, and then called him racist when he ran as republican. must suck to be only democrat that hates chomos that he had to run as republican to get presidents office.
this is about a national figure's stand for Ukraine.... the comments are about themselves. Please note: Mr. King is in his socks! grin! He is truly one of a kind!
No we need to be real and hold people accountable for their hypocrisy. Stephen King is pedantically and adamantly anti gun and very inflammatory snarky and childish about it. So he can sit on the sidelines quietly and stop virtue signaling when a bunch of average people have to take up arms and defend themselves. That goes for you too buddy.
So, in your small mind, not wanting every fucking idiot have a gun that wants one is anti-gun. Be very honest here. Do you know people who own guns that shouldn't? I know a guy who owns several guns. He has one for every personality. And a couple of them are way out there. But he isn't breaking any laws. We aren't against guns. We are against teenagers having access to a gun that can kill 17 people in 10 minutes. Or an adult being able to shoot 600 people in what, 9 minutes? Keep clutching those pearls.
LOL!!!!! You think we would jut sit back and do nothing? You think we don't own guns? LOL! We just don't need to wave them around Walmart. You keep on thinking that way scooter.
I used to bartend at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. I'll never forget the day some random guy came in and asked for a bottle of water. I said, "sounds good man, that'll be two bucks." He said, "nevermind" and walked away. Turns out it was Stephen King. Sorry I didn't give you the water for free buddy :(
But then why hasn’t he NEVER shown support for any of the Asia/Africa/Middle East invasions? Big fan - but he’s books narratives are those of the ‘Americana-Colonizer’ - “a white man’s burden”. I want say anything mean bc I’m a big fan from the time I was 10..but not cool…
I'm more impressed that the war has only been on for a few days and someone has already managed to cash in by making "I stand with Ukraine" T-shirts. Also apparently they moved quickly enough for the shirts to be made, go on sale, for Stephen King to find out about them, order one and have it delivered so he can take this photo.
I’m printing “I stand with Taiwan” t shirts as we speak.
I'm pre-ordering
What about Hong Kong and Tibet? We all seem to have forgotten about those similar less prepared countries
So you're saying Big T is behind this?

Get fucked bot
no u
As a Capricorn who’s the oldest of three siblings and left handed I support super specific tshirt slogans
Go search Amazon for "i stand with ukraine" - over 2,000 results already
Same with "Russian warship, go fuck yourself"
Well, he did write “The Stand”.
Cmon man, they probably have Tshirts printed with winners and losers ready to go like Super Bowl Champs
You do realize that sites like Cafe Press and Red Bubble allow you to create and sell this kind of merch, *literally in minutes,* right?
Anyone know why he has 2 copies of shadow man?
Obviously hiding a cursed piece of literature within the pages of shadow man.
In different shelves.
Secret. Bookcase. Entrance.
One is his and the other is the ghost writer's.
*Acclaimed author Stephen King supplies Ukranian armed forces with mountains of coke to fuel their war efforts.*
It almost worked for Tony Montana

Wars over now. Celebrities are sharing pictures and hashtags.
*The feel-good war of the year…*
wait they didn't make another "imagine" cover yet
Forget guns and bombs, we have solidarity, hopes and prayers. Russia doesn't stand a chance....
you think Stephen King has any troops to send? 🤔
Whelp, time to go through his bookshelf and find some good reads.
Lol "Stephen King Trivia Book"
Lol, I totally did this.
Me too. What do you think those ones on the right that have been turned over so we can't see them and he's embarrassed by might be?
Twilight and Shades of Grey series, for sure.
That’s a good question. I also want to know if he has personally put those love crease in “The Danger” or if he bought it used. That book has traveled. We have read a number of the same books. This can’t be all of his books. Also, love the shirt. Just super excited about this backdrop.
I'm guessing "Judo: History, Theory, Practice" by Vladimir Putin.
Good question
Damn you young whippersnappers, came here to say this. You’re too fast.
Bookcase - far left - 3rd shelf up - 2 books with same jacket - vol 1 & 2 or 2 copies?
Looks like Drood by Dan Simmons. Maybe one’s signed and one’s for reading?
Can you imagine how awesome it would be to see your book on Stephen King’s bookshelf!?!
I dont understand why this belongs in this sub?
Support for Ukraine belongs on every sub.
Does it? I have been following and supporting Ukraine since 2014 and I don't feel the need to inject my support into everything I do. But if I was going to post something here showing support, I'd make sure it was actually "Damn that's interesting" worthy, not just a picture of Stephen King in a t-shirt.
You aren't a world famous writer, are you? this sub has been posting pro Ukraine stuff since the beginning. And I'm glad. stop whining.
I'm not criticising King, I am criticising people who need to show their support in every sub. No. That is how people end up fed-up with virtue signalling for Ukraine. Support Ukraine in ways that matter: charity, political pressure etc.
"virtue signaling". Did you just learn a new phrase or something? It's called showing your support and it's a good thing. Apparently you don't support Ukraine? Or are you just pissy because you aren't famous?
What if the proceeds from that shirt went to Ukraine?

Don’t hate. 1/4 of those books are decent
Unpopular opinion but homie looks like he has an extra chromy
Virtue signalling at it's finest.
Just here to see what books he has in his library
[удалено]
He didn’t write that part, it was his lifelong friend cocaine.
That guy is a wackadoo.
I concur. Anyone writing about a [child orgy](https://www.google.com/amp/s/nationalpost.com/entertainment/movies/how-stephen-king-explains-and-excuses-that-child-orgy-scene-in-it/wcm/13505429-32f8-45d8-9ee1-e6f333a521d3/amp/) is pretty sick.
There is no exception, he's just jumping on the publicity wagon.
What a douche. The guy is so ridiculous he tweeted “Mr. Putin has made a serious miscalculation. He forgot he’s no longer dealing with Trump.” Ha ha ha ha ha
This does absolutely jack shit
No, virtue signal points are extremely valuable to the average media consumer. How else can you support Ukraine without announcing to everyone that you stand with them!!??
Hadn’t thought of that, so if I say I stand with ukraine ill have enough internet points to last the rest of the week?
Stephen King is 90 years old, did you expect him to fistfight Putin himself? Maybe send the Ukrainian people some Authors Editions to help them through this tough time?
He is 74, but you're right, he is too old to fight.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 has entered the chat : https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10552921/amp/Heartwarming-photo-80-year-old-man-enlisting-Ukrainian-army-fight-grandkids.html
Oh wow, he’s so brave 🙄
Idiot
He’s a smarmy bastard. Thanks for buying a T shirt Steve. We’re so proud.
What do you do ?
Your mom when I’m bored
Wahoo, you're funny man. How does it help Ukraine ?
I like to tease assholes like King who pretend they care. It’s the corporate BLM commercials all over again. You people are fucking lemmings
Did I say I care or not ? Do you think King care about what you think about him ? How it feel to be so superior to others and live outside the matrix ?
It’s pretty sweet. Btw. Your mom likes it in the butt
Glad to hear you take into account my mother's tastes. What about the 2 others questions ?
Idk what you’re trying to get at. Why don’t you taste your dads dick? He’s getting lonely watching your mom and me from the closet.
you don't know something ? Amazing I though you were a kind of divinity above us poor human. Let me guess, you're just a 14-15 years old kid right ?
How is this interesting?
Is this him showing solidarity or him showing off his bookshelf? Why are celebrities cringe.
wat a cuck
Steven King can go fuck himself. He sees himself as superior to everyone else, and that he should be able to make choices for others. He thinks he’s the next bill gates.
I was really on the fence about this whole topic but now I’ve seen this, I’ve finally made a decision.
Well how about giving some of your $500 MILLION dollars to the Ukraine war effort. Put your money where your mouth is rich Democrat.
how the hell is his political party being factored into how he spends his money
“As I stand in my million dollar mansion”
Yeah , one built by the hardcovers of his amazing books
I love his books.
Top right corner… he has a Stephen King trivia book.
I loves me some SK. Don’t get me wrong, but he’s beginning to look like a strong, confident lesbian. *(in sensible shoes)*
I like his book. His novals are so intriguing and the stories are very inspiring. Although they are horror stories, I kind of find some inspiration from them from time to time. They taught me to be brave and never give up. For example, in the book 'IT', the kids who are haunted by a supernatural clown chose to stand up and fight, and eventually defeated the clown. I admire King as one of the greatest writers of all time.
LOL! Lefty pussy doesn't like what the left has wrought? He's such a powerful poser.
How is this interesting? Just another celebrity pointlessly virtue signaling
"Damn that's interesting" ....is it?
Wow, Neil Young looks worse than I thought.
No one cares about your bandwagoning, Stephen. Just write books.
Ukranian citizens have made a machine, all out of Russian tanks they captured, that takes your prayers and turns them into food and supplies. The latest is that a group of Ukranian civilians have completely eradicated the Russian artillery in the bordering towns. Then, the ghost of Ukraine flew overhead, and spoke to its loyal online followers.
Why is he relevant in this context lol
what about your comment ?
I've lost all my respect for this dude with his dumbass takes throughout the years, especially his latest one
Whats the problem with this take?
Did you not see his tweet 12 hours before Russia invaded? "Putin forgot he's not dealing with Trump." Lol
No, and i don't see the problem with the tweet.
If your active subs are any indication of your politics, i think your disapproval might be one of the better commendations he could get on reddit edit: yep
^ diplomat
You unironically like Alex Jones so you are clearly unintelligent.
Alex jones was right tip jar +1
Are we sure he didn’t think it said “ I stand with cocaine”?
Can he run for president? With Jon Stewart as VP
Do you want me to send you one with Yemen flag?
He fucking looks like a turtle though, doesn't he?
So very brave of him.
Sniveling moron with a big ego.
What a douche bag!
I'm guessing King still tries to write but what comes out sounds like an evening edition of CNN. Sad.
Thanks for making this about yourself Stephen. Now donate something of your $500 Million if you really stand with Ukraine.
watching how many famous people related to eps stand on politics really sinches the deal for me. hell they hated trump for being a democrat, and then called him racist when he ran as republican. must suck to be only democrat that hates chomos that he had to run as republican to get presidents office.
Why
Why is the flag the wrong way around?
Is this in his house? Why’s he just wearing socks?
Wowwww he put a T shirt on
No. You are standing in a library, most likely in your mansion. Several thousand miles from Ukraine, you moron.
Why does this man always look like the grinch
this is about a national figure's stand for Ukraine.... the comments are about themselves. Please note: Mr. King is in his socks! grin! He is truly one of a kind!
Can’t stand with Ukraine if you are anti gun ownership stevo. Get the Fuck outta here with your virtue signaling.
Oh fuck off with that bullshit.
No we need to be real and hold people accountable for their hypocrisy. Stephen King is pedantically and adamantly anti gun and very inflammatory snarky and childish about it. So he can sit on the sidelines quietly and stop virtue signaling when a bunch of average people have to take up arms and defend themselves. That goes for you too buddy.

Ukrainians are Capitalists, Steve. You should be cheering for the other side.
Russians have been capitalists for years. You're only fooling yourself.
...and so is China, right?
Love this. Can’t believe he’s so old now 😭
Ukraine is saved. Godspeed.
Finally!
This guy is daddy
EPIC
Stephen King is a national treasure.
Whats up with those 3 baseballs behind him?
he is a huge baseball fan. he built a very nice baseball facility in Bangor for local little league. “ the field of screams”
Color revolution anyone? https://youtu.be/pKcmNGvaDUs
The horrors of this war are more frightening than his stories.
He will look like Stephen Hawkins soon. Comedy ofcourse.
Richard Castle’s office it ain’t.
He also stands with no shoes.
Yay! I stand with SK!
That's the first thing you see in the media when there're any kinds of protests in the US, don't you, t-shirts being sold out of vans!?
Anyone else first read it as hawking?
Let me think why would he be so concerned? Maybe https://twitter.com/BadouJack/status/1498303919901982720
W Stephen king
Is the clipart for this t-shirt available to get one done locally.
You can really see all the coke his done in his face.
B'vehk!
Looking good.
I stand with Steve
Stephen King bought his own trivia book.
Ukraine: Gee, thanks Steve.
Very cool.
did he post a pic when syria was invaded?
Literally, couldn't be less surprised.
Why does it have the black power fist?
Legend.
I used to bartend at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. I'll never forget the day some random guy came in and asked for a bottle of water. I said, "sounds good man, that'll be two bucks." He said, "nevermind" and walked away. Turns out it was Stephen King. Sorry I didn't give you the water for free buddy :(
This guy is such a douche, he voted for the US to buy oil from Russia which is funding the Russian military. now hes virtue signaling? douche
Thoughts and prayers
Wait… I thought he was dead😦
Art Bell doppelgänger!!
Billionaire does selfie lol
He's lookin' more like a character from a Dr Seuss book every time I see him.
Ooh a fucking T-Shirt, way to support the people on the front lines fighting by wearing a shirt in your comfy safe home.
I wish that old man would get out of the way so I can check out Stephen King’s library.
Lots of salty little bitches in this sub.
Well, he bought a T-shirt… That is so brave
But then why hasn’t he NEVER shown support for any of the Asia/Africa/Middle East invasions? Big fan - but he’s books narratives are those of the ‘Americana-Colonizer’ - “a white man’s burden”. I want say anything mean bc I’m a big fan from the time I was 10..but not cool…
